Thinking about why I don't sleep.....

Us humans get worked up about almost anything. Reading newspapers or listening to TV news bulletins will show you quickly the latest ones. At the moment we are going to host the Glasgow UN extravaganza where we will discuss how to curb environmental damage. So it will mean build more, as my favourite journo, Rod Liddle said, bird mincers. Or in other words wind turbines. If you think these are environmentally friendly, quickly think again. The other thing he mentioned, sewage. Yes, our effluent from close to 70 million people goes into the sea. Where else do you think it goes? Not in my back-garden. My neighbour’s cat sees to manuring that. I have been thinking how to get rid of it but you know what? I like the beast. He sprays wonderful scents on every wall and then alluringly stares at me before coming over for a petting session. Lovely, won’t be long before I find it sleeping on our bed. Water companies face heavy fines when they are caught pumping raw sewage into rivers but there are many loopholes. 

The other thing we get worked up with is disappearing animals. Tigers, rhinos, more or less anything that walks on Africa’s continent. But we do not seem to mind the animals disappearing right under our own noses. Practically any animal is in danger in the UK. Burgeoning population, vastly increased house building, also on green spaces are mostly to blame. Disappearing wild spaces will mean more mental disease. Even in the area where I live it is remarkable to see more and land being concreted over. Planners are the worst problem we have today. Councils across the nation will need to re-examine their plans quickly otherwise in years to come we will have to face yet another calamity. This is not the legacy I want to leave my future grandchildren! No matter where you look, humans are the main culprit of almost any problem the planet faces. Be it species disappearing, seas and oceans fouling, air pollution, plastics, CO2 increasing and warming the climate, it all points to just one species. US! Humans. 

You may ask what will nature do to try to balance the environment? Well, it is already beginning. Covid-19 is here. It might have been an accident but it is here now. It will be with us like forever. More so, it will mutate like flu. So, more and more will be on the march towards us. As I have said many times before, the more we spoil, the more there are of us, the more are the chances we open the floodgates. As it is Covid is not so bad for the majority but it has had an impact on those who have health problems and the very old. However, just like in a war, nature is getting its arsenal up to scratch and before too long the next attack will be launched. Nature will not need beaches or ships but it’ll love our need for sunny holidays. Planes are one of the worst kind of disease spreader. Hopefully they will not shy away from difficult decisions or get into stupid arguments in Glasgow soon. We need to be quick and redress the balance. Come what may.

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
